Just depends on what you want to do. You really worked hard for the play, yet you still want to go to the party you've been waiting for..hmm this is definately a toughy. I wish these things never happen! haha they always happen with me. I was in a play, and it was the same time as my siblings party. So I had the play then afterwards went to the party. Hope I help some! :] [ GoodAdviceGiver05's advice column | Ask GoodAdviceGiver05 A Question ]

After all the rehearsing and everything, you've made a commitment to the whole entire play, and it wouldn't be right of you to just suddenly drop out. Also, they'd have to find someone else for the part so suddenly to memorize the lines.. it'd be mayhem for everyone.
If I were you, depending on the time, maybe just switch the party to a later time on the same day, or just make the party the day after. Sure it'll be annoying tell everyone that the party is being changed to another day, but it looks to me either, have the party a different day, or no party.
